What do we want? A standalone HBO streaming service! When do we want it? Now! And that’s what makes the name of HBO’s highly anticipated and long-promised standalone service so appropriate. HBO Now is officially on its way, and the company has revealed new details, including a very reasonable subscription price. But those of you with cable who already pay for an HBO subscription may find that switching over would be a tad useless.

The ease with which we access TV becomes more ubiquitous every year, but some shows will always top out demand for piracy. Now, for the third year in a row, HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ has topped TorrentFreak’s annual list of pirated TV show downloads, though a few of the entries on this year’s countdown might actually surprise you.

HBO subscriptions have been something of a running joke through the TV industry, with a great many of the network's loyal fans sharing HBOGO passwords to avoid expensive cable packages, previously the only mean with which to watch shows like 'Game of Thrones' or 'True Detective.' Now, the company has finally acquiesced, and announced an independent streaming service due out in 2015.

The ending to HBO's magnum TV opus 'The Sopranos' has remained a source of debate over the last seven years, as fans and viewers analyze every sound and frame of series finale "Made in America" for a clue to Tony Soprano's ultimate fate. Now, despite a near-decade of refusals, series creator David Chase may finally have revealed if Tony Soprano lived or died.

'Breaking Bad' star Bryan Cranston brought himself one step closer to an EGOT last night with a Tony win for his portrayal of LBJ in Broadway's 'All the Way,' but the once (and future?) Heisenberg may have his eyes on a TV return. A new report suggests Steven Spielberg has begun optioning 'All the Way' for the TV miniseries treatment, with Cranston on board to reprise his Tony-winning role.

HBO has long been a thorn in the side of streaming media enthusiasts, only licensing its content to be accessed through HBO GO, unlike the Netflix and Amazon Prime models that have become so commonplace in recent years. Now, the pay-cable network struck a surprising Amazon Prime deal to deliver streams of a variety of shows past and present, but don't expect to start that 'Game of Thrones' maratho

Surprised though we were to see HBO agree to make season 3 of Aaron Sorkin's 'The Newsroom' its final season, the early end has nothing on his latest revelations about the journalism drama. Speaking from a recent conference, Sorkin straight up apologized for criticism of the series, simultaneously previewing a few major world events that will end up covered (*cough* scrutinized) when 'The Newsroom

‘Game of Thrones‘ season 4 is already piling up the bodies week to week after only two episodes, but even those spoiled by George R.R. Martin‘s books need a bit of refresher course to keep ahead of who keeps their head. The Starks are never, ever, ever getting back together, but we've got them all in one place for a hot minute, telling you everything you need to know about ‘Game of Thrones’ House

'Sopranos' fans, the entertainment community, and the world at large remain in shock over the tragic passing of actor James Gandolfini, who died earlier today in Italy of an apparent heart attack. The iconic actor had been preparing his return to HBO in the form of UK-adapted drama 'Criminal Justice,' of which a pilot episode had already been shot, but now remains in "limbo" as the pay-c

Just weeks after HBO aired one of its most successful stand-up specials to date in comedian Louis C.K.'s 'Oh My God,' the pay-cable network has announced another high-profile special to feature an equally revered comedian. Sarah Silverman will officially headline her first HBO special with 'Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles,' but when will the hotly anticipated special premiere?

Just a few days ago, we learned that 'Glee' and 'American Horror Story' creator Ryan Murphy had begun development of another provocative new drama called 'Open,' allowing the prolific producer an outlook on human sexuality and modern coupling. At the time the project created a bidding war among broadcast and cable networks alike, but has unsurprisingly landed a pilot order at HBO, the site of Murp

Remember when the first trailer for James Franco's 'Interior. Leather Bar.' hit? The film itself, which recreates the 40 minutes of footage excised from William Friedkin's gay S&M-focused thriller 'Cruising,' is in itself too provocative for the mainstreamers considering it's homosexual content. Even Franco stated sarcastically in the trailer, "Don't show gay sex... that's the f---ing dev
